3. Instructional Analysis
This section describes the instructional development process that will be
followed.
3.1.
The training team will perform a needs analysis for each SDLC initiative. The
analyses, provided in Appendix C of this document, identify:
Current competencies
Competency requirements
Existing training material that can satisfy the performance requirements (in
whole or in part)
The optimal (for example, cost, efficiency) setting and methodology for the
training and criteria applied
These analyses enable the U.S. Mint to make informed judgments and decisions
regarding what training to pursue, and to obtain/coordinate the resources
required for its development, implementation, evaluation, and maintenance.
<Insert the training needs analyses as Appendix C of this document. The
analyses should contain:

<Project Name>
3.2.
A brief overview of the systems security controls and the need for security
and protection of sensitive bureau data
In addition, if the Privacy Act protects the system, include a warning of the
Privacy Acts civil and criminal penalties concerning the unauthorized use
and disclosure of system data.

4. Instructional Methods
This section lists all instructional methods to be used.
4.1.
This section describes the design, media selection analyses, and results of the
existing material analyses for the performance interventions identified in the
training needs analysis described in Section 3.1.
Training designs:
<Insert the training designs as Appendix D of this document. The training designs
should contain:
The media alternatives considered (for example, all forms of computerbased, web-based, video-based, and paper-based media)
The criteria and method for selecting the optimal media for the performance
intervention
<Insert the training media selection analyses for all training needs as Appendix E
of this document. The training media selection analysis should include:
Version:
Date:
Training Plan
<Project Name>
Identification of the existing materials that can satisfy (in whole or in part)
performance intervention requirements cross-walked to specific intervention
requirements (for example, performance criteria)

Course Description
This section provides a high-level description of each course. Each course may be composed of one or more modules. Appendix G provides the
course requirements and course description for each module, along with a syllabus for each module.

4.3.
Training Materials
This section presents the training materials that were developed in accordance
with the approved designs, media selection, and existing material analysis. The
format of the materials varies depending on the media involved. For example, if
the training is web-based training (WBT), the format includes all Java source
code and associated design specs. If the intervention is a brochure, the format is
both an electronic version and paper mock-up with printing specs, number of
copies required, and distribution methodology. Instructor-dependent classroom
training includes both an electronic version as well as camera-ready copy of
student materials (for example, binders with courseware materials) and instructor
materials (for example, power point slides, instructor guides). However, all
training materials reflect sound adult learning theory principles.
<Insert the training materials in Appendix H of this document. The training
materials should:
State explicit objectives and how the intervention will achieve them (which
will be used later to evaluate the intervention)
4.4.
All training will be pilot tested before implementation. This section presents a plan
for pilot testing training materials, and reporting the results of the pilot testing.
The pilot test plan identifies testing activities, start/end dates for each activity,
methodology, data collection methodology/instruments, and data analysis plans,
as well as material, facilities, equipment, and information requirements.
<Insert the pilot test plan in Appendix I of this document. The pilot test plan
should include:
Pilot test participants sampling strategy that will result in a > 90% confidence
level (that is, sampling technique that will be used to achieve the required
13

confidence level)
After the training materials are pilot tested in accordance with the plan, the
testing data is analyzed and the results of the pilot test reported. Training
materials are then revised in accordance with the results presented in the Pilot
Test Report.
<Insert the pilot test report in Appendix J of this document. The pilot test report
should include:
Pilot tests participants sampling strategy that will result in a > 90%
confidence level (that is, sampling technique that will used to achieve the
required confidence level)
Results of the pilot test (performed in accordance with the data analysis plan)
Any data files and data analytic files used in the data analysis including:
o
File structure (for example, data set name, record format, and
number of records)
Variable definitions

Code (for example, SAS/SUDAAN, or other) used that will allow the

<Project Name>
After the training materials are evaluated in accordance with the evaluation plan,
the evaluation data is analyzed and the results presented in a report. Training
materials are then revised in accordance with the results presented in the
Training Evaluation Report.
<Insert the training evaluation report in Appendix L of this document. The training
evaluation report should include:
Results of the evaluation (that is, performed in accordance with the data
analysis plan)
Any data files and data analytic files used in the data analysis including:
File structure (for example, data set name, record format, and
number of records)
Variable definitions
Code (for example, SAS/SUDAAN, or other) used that will allow the

5. Training Resources
This section references all training resources required for effective training.
5.1.
Resources
This section presents a plan that provides all the information necessary to
allocate and manage resources required to implement, evaluate, and maintain
the required training.
<Insert the training resource plan in Appendix M of this document. The training
resource plan should include:
Staffing requirements for each activity (for example, who, what, when, and
where, and number of hours)
5.2.
Training Database
<Define the training database and how it will be used during computer systems
training. Usually, if required, this database contains simulated production data
related to various training scenarios and cases developed for instructional
purposes.
Include an explanation of how the training database is to be developed. If this
subsection is not applicable to the system involved, indicate Not Applicable.>
